Black Academics
Decry Anti-Semitism
New York (JTA) — Henry
Louis Gates Jr. and Cornel
West — two of the country's
most prominent academics
and both African-Americans
— have been speaking to a
lot of Jewish audiences late-
ly, decrying anti-Semitism
in the black community.
Jews are pleased with
these passionate pro-
nouncements, but in the
wake of recent incidents,
they are beginning to
wonder whom Gates and
West truly represent — and
who else is listening to them.
Mr. Gates, a professor of
English and chairman of the
Afro- American Studies
Department at Harvard,
called remarks about Jews
by Nation of Islam leader
Louis Farrakhan "morally
bankrupt" when he address-
ed several hundred people at
a conference on anti-
Semitism convened in Boston
by the Anti-Defamation
League earlier this month.
Mr. West, a professor of re-
ligion and director of the
Afro- American Studies
Department at Princeton,
has addressed synagogue
audiences and a hotel
ballroom full of interested
listeners at the Council of
Jewish Federations General
Assembly here on November
11.
Seen against the backdrop
of recent survey data that
shows that hard-core anti-
Semitic attitudes are twice
as likely to be found among
blacks as among whites,
Jews in just about every
stratum of the community
find deeply troubling the
proliferation of black anti-
Semitism.
The issue has been pushed
into the spotlight by the
death last year of a Chasidic
Jew at the hands of a black
mob in the Crown Heights
section of Brooklyn, the ac-
quittal of the only man
charged with his murder and
the subsequent highly
charged exchanges between
black and Jewish leaders in
the aftermath of the verdict.
The anti-Semitic pro-
paganda campaign
spearheaded by groups in-
cluding the Nation of Islam
and the All-African People's
Revolutionary Party is car-
ried to every corner of the
community by political
leaders like the Rev. Al
Sharpton, academics like
City University of New
York's Leonard Jeffries,
poets like Amiri Baraka and
rappers like Public Enemy
and Ice Cube.
According to their rhetoric
and pseudo-scholarship,
Jews were never really
allied with blacks in the
struggle for civil rights, but
only wanted to control
African-Americans; Jews
are the controllers of power
and money; Jews don't want
African- Americans to own
their own businesses; and
Jews were and continue to
be the enslavers of blacks.
Even among many
African-Americans who say
they admire only the mes-
sages of black pride em-
phasized by these commun-
ity leaders and reject the an-
ti-Semitic component of the
rhetoric, dangerous stereo-
types of Jews are often un-
wittingly accepted along
with the rest of the ideology.
These myths and their
originators, say many Jews,
Jews are pleased
with these
passionate
pronouncements.
are something too few
African-Americans have
been willing to repudiate.
To the Jewish estab-
lishment, Mr. Gates and Mr.
West are two responsible
voices willing to critique the
growing popularity among
African-Americans for
scapegoating Jews for the
social and economic ills that
continue to beset the black
community.
But there is some concern
that these lone voices may
not carry much weight in
their own community.
What do blacks think of
these internal critics? Are
Jews holding dialogues with
nationally prominent repre-
sentatives of an otherwise
silent majority or with
pariahs largely marginaliz-
ed by African-Americans?
When "Skip" Gates filled
the entire op-ed page of the
New York Times one day
last July with well-aimed
arrows of criticism of those
blacks who spread anti-
Semitic canards, he found
himself roundly denounced
by many blacks.
His essay sparked a heated
debate within the larger
African- American commun-
ity that has yet to subside.
Mr. Gates was not just
